On the RF receiver unit is a connection for an IR blaster but I'm wondering if someone can advise me as to how to connect multiple emitters w/out blowing them.
Thanks,
Mark |

Use a "Y" adapter or buy a dual emitter IR blaster. _________________ Rob

Digging up an old post here but it's on the topic of what I am looking for....
Rob - is there a recomended type of emitter for the 2117 base station? I have read the socket on the back of the base station is smaller than most standard ir emitters. I am looking for a way to get three emitters running off the 2117 base station. Any suggestions? |

I'm in a similar situation, but will be controlling four devices in a wiring closet. I assume the best thing to do is to arrange the blasters to cover multiple equipment IR receivers.
Hopefully, the number of blasters you can attach isn't too small. |

Internally, the external emitter is wired in parallel with one of the IR leds in the unit (or that is what I recall from a project I built with it). In any case, the connector is a 2.5mm mono connector. RS sells them for a couple of bones in a package of 2. |

Has anyone every found a comercially available IR blaster that works with the 2117? I tried wiring in two more emitters in paralell, and it didnt work. After spending many hours on this, I'm thinking of just buying a whole new extender. |
